After clearing North Africa of Axis forces, the Allied planned to attack via Sicily and Italy. But after their success in invading Sicily, Allied commanders found that what was thought to be the 'soft underbelly of Europe' turned out to be a 'tough old gut' as German forces conducted a brilliant defence in Italy. This was a difficult time for German fighter pilots, for while their airfields were bombed and they were outnumbered in the air, their leaders - somewhat detached from reality - were convinced that a decisive defeat could still be inflicted on the Allies. Morale declined amid blame and recrimination, and pilots were threatened with court-martial. This title describes the outnumbered German fighter force's attempt to defeat overwhelming aerial superiority from the battle of Sicily in July 1943 to the Allied advance into Northern Italy in the Winter of 1944.

This volume is one of a selection of titles that illustrate the history, organization, uniforms and insignia of the armed SS battalions. It covers the SS "Death's Head Units" which performed a sinister internal security role in the pre-war years. At the outbreak of the war some of these battalions were sent to the front, and later evolved into the "Death's Head Division" of the Waffen-SS. The remaining units of the expanded Death's Head organization continued to oversee internal security and concentration camps, and this role has inevitably resulted in their organization, deployment and activities being shrouded in secrecy. This book represents a factual record of the activities of this service.

This book captures both the mundane and the historical. Aeroflot, at the height, was remarkable due to "its vast and complex domestic network, many of whose subdivisions alone would equate in size to a very large airline." This provided millions of travelers basic air transport over huge stretches of land at bargain prices. Milestones celebrated here include the Polar Division affiliate with historical trans-polar flights, the world's first transport aircraft in 1913, the first bomber/transport, the world's largest helicopters, and the world's largest turboprop airliner. About 250 color illustrations: maps, tables, charts, photographs, profiles of over 25 aircraft.
